SIGHTINGS 2010
An enviromental/biology student from New Jersey leaving his home there during the cold snap said he traveled daily
to different State and National Parks here in South Florida. He and his friend were looking for a good spot to fish in
the Picayune Strand State Park when they saw a Skunk Ape enter the trail they were walking on. He said when the
creature saw them it retreated back into the trees. It was about 7-71/2 feet tall. Shocked by what they saw they slowly
started to retreat picking up stones to protect themselves..As they slowly backed away they could see it watching
them from behind a tree trunk and branches. It had matted red/brown hair. There wasn't any hair on its face which
was dark brown/black in color.The hair was short on its head continuing down its neck. From the shoulders down the
hair was longer and was more of a reddish color. The arms and legs were extremely muscular like a body
builders.The arms extended below the waste line. They were down wind of it and didn't smell any foul odor that's
usually associated with the creature. He said it wasn't a regular ape as he had worked with primates in both a zoo and
a wild setting. The witness said he believed it's an animal that as yet to be documented. It wasn't aggressive towards
him and his friend. As they backtracked they saw something along the trail and looking closer saw it was part of a
bear that had been torn a part. Checking down another trail they found some more of the bear strewed around what
looked like beds,more then one. They believed that this was beds of the Ape or Apes as there was branches and
grass piled up in several areas. The witness said he was going back with video cameras, trap cameras and voice
recorder to see if he can get evidence of what he saw.

2010-March12/ ALABAMA-Walker County- Kansas,Al./ Friday at around 6 Pm.Witness was going home from the
store and when starting to turn off the highway she noticed something white squatting down on the side of the
highway near the creek about 30-40 yards ahead of her. So instead of turning she went to see what it was.She got
within about 1o yards of it and it stood up straight and turned around slowly and walked into the woods real calm.
Couldn't believe at that time what she was seeing. The thing was a dirty white, very large, taller then the street sign
that was near and fury. Could tell it wasn't human or anything she had ever seen before. It scared her so bad she
said she had tears in her eyes and started shaking and went straight home and told her husband about it. This
witness is the sister-in-law to witness to the 1990 witness.
